Sorry, I can not recall a single loss that can be laid on Alex. The team loses; not a freshman guard. Well said. Its all about being a team, I saw them play at Temple and I said this team is lacking that feeling that team feeling. You the bench quiet dudes. You need everyone to be together! And TOGETHER is how winning is done.

In this case, it's better to rely on the stats than on your impressions from watching them play. Rico is taking more shots per minute of PT than McNees: McNees -- 202 FG attempts in 796 minutes = .254 FG attempts per minute played Abreu -- 145 FG attempts in 497 minutes = .292 FG attempts per minute played First the freshman AA gets compared to Humpty and now to a five year senior McNees, my thoughts are on who will be next year..

both guard spots defend...Abreu does not And your opinion is based on what facts? ## SUMMARY GP-GS Min FG% 3PT% FT% R/G A/G STL BLK PTS/G ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- 04 MCNEES, Steve....... 25-25 31.8 .332 .309 .685 2.4 2.7 22 2 8.7 11 ABREU, Alex......... 25-15 19.9 .352 .329 .740 1.5 3.6 36 2 6.5 Let's compare our two point guards statistically. Abreu plays less minutes yet has the same number of blocked shots as Steve even though Alex is 5'-9" and Steve is 6'-2". Alex has THIRTY-SIX steals even though he plays no defense. Steve has twenty-two steals on the season. Alex has far more assists than Steve does. Why is that? Could it be that Alex is actually a true point guard while Steve, bless his heart, is a two guard pressed into service as a point? Alex has better free throw AND three point percentages. Maybe we should move Alex to the two. Oh, and Alex flat out has a better shooting percentage than Steve has. Here is what Steve has: Steve is an experienced fifth year senior who has game and leaves it all out on the floor. Steve would play the small forward, oh, wait, in the past Steve has played some minutes in the three hole. Steve can be relied on to settle down the offense. Steve is adequate as a point guard. In closing minutes of a game Steve can handle the ball even though his abilities to finish a possession with a score is below average. So, let Steve handle the ball until there is ten seconds on the clock then pass the ball to Alex to finish the job. Just think of how good Alex would be if he could only defend better. Right. This is true, Alex might make some decisions like passing when he should shoot. Hes a freshman and if you ask me, he is one of the best decisions the Coach came down to. Now, he has spark, and for those who say he can't play defense. Well I don't know what you're talking about. Keep that comment on the low. Alex should be PG and that's that. And everyone's right when they say he has a BRIGHT future as a ZIPS!!!

Well the last teams beat were against Mac West where we are obviously superior to them. You can't compare beginning of the season to now, talk about teams specifically and what these 2 players have done. Steve always has started and never comes out, barely. How bout showing us a lil less Steve and mixing it up for real. Let me be the Assistant Coach!!!
